Hey guys, Audry here saddling up to the poker table because the celebs are betting big tonight, benefiting Mending Kids International. Looking nice tonight. Thank you. Are you ready to lose some money? Well gosh, I hope not. You hope so. It's all for a good cause. You should say yes, I hope so. Yes. Young Hollywood, say hello to Old Hollywood. Are you ready to lose some money tonight? Yes. I'm ready to lose. How good of a poker player are you? I played a little bit. I enjoy the game. It's been a little while, but I used to play quite a bit. You've got some scold, and you seem like you're a very competitive young lady. I am so. How did you, how did you know?
You're feeling my, you're it's vibing, right? Yeah. Is there, is my shark coming out? My poker shark? I like that, I like that. Poker, I'm terrible, man. And everybody says so. I mean, uh, they love playing poker with me. I just run in, throw money on the table, say thank you very much, and walk out. I wanna take you down in poker. Is that bad? I think, I think that's how a lot of people start, and then they start writing me checks. like that. Oh, is that how it's gonna go down? It's gonna be Wow. Gauntlet thrown. your dad, Gene, someone you know very well, playing tonight. How is? Oh yeah, Gene. He's playing? Yeah. Let's see him lose money for a change. That's good. Oh.
Mostly because of that look on his face. It's really good. You never see, you rarely ever see him go like. Right. Oh my god. Yeah. I was talking to your kids earlier and uh, they were saying how they like to see you very humbled. They like to see you lose. That's what they said. No matter who you are, no matter how far up you get in life, when you see children in need, it takes away all this sheen and all this glamour and the sugar coating. And you realize that there but for the grace of God, it could be your children. But this is not about me. This is about mending kids. And about the wonderful work they do. It's a really good organization.
I mean, they're the Marcia, and here she is right here. Selfless and, and working on a shoe string. They don't keep much for themselves. Mending kids send doctors around the world to provide free operations for children who would otherwise possibly die. But at the same time, they're gonna get me good. They know I'm gonna be writing checks because that's what it is. I wanna play poker against you. Yeah, everybody does. But I won't give them the pleasure of wasting my time. I'll just give them a dough. Here, have 500 bucks. All right, well show me your poker face. I think my poker face is not to have one. I like to seem easy to read. Subversive. You're getting in my head. No, I'm not.
I'm on your side. I'm on your side. Well, do you have a good poker face? There it is, folks.
